Bonnie and Clyde, with their falsely-accused date-rape stories in Google. The people gossiping on facebook didn't know Mandi. But I did. This hedonist guy Jim with the"falsely accused" story in Google was her dreamboat. She wouldn’t leave even after the cocaine was gone. He would have to throw Mandi out to get rid of her. I didn't really get how girls who were not at Mulrenin's house that night, could kid themselves that they liked Mulrenin better, or were closer to Mulrenin, than the girl who was at his house. It was a wishful invention from the start. That was some Dollhouse girls hating on Mandi. But there was another girl who was already on Mandi's "Jackon" facebook page even before she got arrested. Because she had been on Scott Love's facebook page, and on the facebook page of every girl he dated, every single day since he dumped her three years earlier. For three years she had envied Scott Love living above ground without her. For three years she posted facebook comments and messages to try to exploit his down moments to become relevant in his life. The day Scott Love was arrested was Christmas for Scott’s facebook-stalking ex. Not only did Scott’s ex suddenly know a famous person in the news. But after three years of trying to tell herself she was better off for being dumped by Scott, this was the first day she could actually believe it. And after three years of being jealous of every girl Scott Love talked to, and three months of being miserably jealous of Mandi, on this day she could feel sorry for Mandi. So finally her life was not an endless ball of pining and rumination, and she was happy she was not with Scott Love and Mandi was. She was free. And I don’t doubt she indulged in the moment and tried to participate, by calling police and saying “I know Scott Love, he did it.” The more she believed it and convinced herself it was true, the better she felt about having lost him. Only by Scott going to prison can she stay free. I’ve learned so much since that December day in 2016, I don't remember exactly what I thought that day. I think Mandi's mom told me Scott lost his job. But it was well known this strip-club manager takes the new girls home, everyone in town knew this. And it was pretty obvious he had cocaine and gave Mandi the better deal. And Scott knew this and was powerless to do anything about it. And Scott shot the guy. I figured it was a jealous boyfriend. And then Mandi used the guy’s credit cards, because that is what teenage hookers learn to do. They don't go to police, they disappear in the dark. Who knows, maybe she already had the cards in her pocket, because alcoholic Mulrenin with his DUI sent her to the liquor store earlier in the night. And that is where the story should have ended, a guy who took home a young girl and got shot by her jealous boyfriend. But for some reason, the police let their imagination run away. And then they filled in evidence, and manufactured witnesses, when the evidence and witnesses they had turned out to not fit their imagination. It may have had something to do with Mulrenin losing his business, and getting run out of Michigan, for date rape of a previous young female employee. The people who knew him were not going to let a little girl get away with ruining his life and their business again. So they ran way out ahead this time, trying to hide the truth and destroy the young female employee he had sex with to protect the business. II-6
